Regarding moviedude’s Review
Agreed Dude. Your review prompted me to reread mine, where I noticed that I’d dubbed Memento a modern day Citizen Kane. As it happens, I also made the same claim about Inception, for which I took some heat from a buddy on facebook.
I don’t recall making the Citizen Kane comparison about any other director’s movies, just Christopher Nolan’s. The guy’s a genius, that’s for sure.
Interestingly enough, ever time I watch Memento it gets better each time. I guess thats why I boosted it up to a Perfect 5. Heck, I think it might just be my new favorite movie.
Regarding izzio’s Review
Great review, izzio.
I’m glad to see me and Wick aren’t the only people who think Guy Pearce is an underrated and underused actor.
Thanks, Wick. I honestly didn’t mind Moss in this film, I’ve just never showed an interest in her work or acting abilities. However, I think she was pretty good in this movie.
Regarding MetalJunky5000’s Review
Solid review MJ. Happy to see we gave it virtually the same marks.
My only point of disagreement is Carrie-Anne Moss, who I thought was significantly less than great. Of course, I’ve never liked her, so I may be a biased judge.
